Vision

Our vision is:

To Make Christ's Presence Known in our Community

Through our:

WORSHIP: encountering Jesus in prayer, praise, word and sacrament

SHARED LIFE: living as family across the generations

MISSION: sharing the Good News of Jesus in word and deed

Values

Encountering God: directing people to Jesus and His transforming Spirit through our worship, Bible teaching, prayer, and the sacraments, across our diverse traditions.

Being Loving Family: doing life together across the ages, generations and cultures and spurring one another on as disciples of Christ.

Sharing Jesus: seeking the coming of God's Kingdom as we proclaim the Good News of Jesus in our words, actions and attitudes.

We affiliate to the New Wine network of churches.

The PCC of St Mary & St George Church have adopted the Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) Basis of Faith and have supported our clergy in receiving Alternative Spiritual Oversight through CEEC.

St Mary & St George Church is an Anglican church. We are part of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion. We hold to the doctrines of the Christian faith as revealed in the Bible and the Creeds and as the Church of England has expressed them in the Thirty Nine Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer and the Ordination of Priests/Presbyters and Deacons.

Planning your Visit

Join In

We believe that Church is about much more than a Sunday gathering. Church is God’s family, and families ‘do life’ together.
We encourage everyone in our church to get involved in some form of group or community that meets during the week.
We have a range to choose from.

Missional Communities

Missional Communities are small to mid-sized groups that meet to share their lives together around a common focus. Missional Communities will be rooted in a rhythm of praying together, reading the Bible and meeting in one another’s home regularly. Importantly though, they will also have a strong ‘outward focus’ and a desire to connect with a particular group of people with whom they can share the Good News of Jesus through friendship and a shared life.
A Missional Community might be based around a particular locality, or a common interest or a stage of life. Speak to one of the Team for more details.

Small Groups

We run a couple of different Small Groups for those who really want to ‘go deeper’ in their faith. These include a Bible study group and a group which is dedicated to prayer and the prophetic.

Social Groups

We also have a number of groups that have a more social flavour and are aimed at simply connecting people together around a shared activity. These groups meet at different times and locations and can change throughout the year.
